The hydrochloric acid goody is the most
fun in the whole book. It takes many
forms and works on the simple chemical
principle that hydrochloric acid reacts
with aluminum powder, foil or metal,
releasing a great dark cloud of noxious
gas which looks horrible and smells
worse.
Hydrochloric acid is used for killing
algae in swimming pools and for
cleaning tile and stone work.
Where swimming pools are common it
can be bought at any hardware store for
a couple of dollars for a gallon.
Being only 37% strenght, it is seldom
harmful to the skin but will eat
through clothing like battery acid.
Hydrochloric acid also goes by the name
Muriatic acid.
On damp nights, a bottle of the acid
alone, broken in the midst of a crowd
will form noxious clouds of chlorine
gas. Scream "poison gas!" and you will
have a panic on your hands that will
give you many laughs.
When you get some, open it up and
give it a sniff. It won't harm you
because you couldn't stand to smell
enough to be harmed. Then put a
couple of square inches of alluminum
foil in a can in your sink and pour
some acid on the foil. If the acid
bottle has been tightly capped the
reaction of breaking down the aluminum
and producing a dark noxious gas should
start in about a minute. It the bottle
has been setting for months, poorly
capped, the reaction may start
immediately. You can stop the action
at any time by turning onj the faucet
and flodding the mess with water.
When you have tested the reaction
with foil, try it with powder and then
with aluminum metal cut from a pipe or
a slab.
The versatility of the hydrochloric
acid goody is amazing and should keep
you fascinated for hours.
The Militants most common use of the
hydrochloric acid goody is to clear
areas of people he doesn't like. In
a movie or a meeting hall a tim can
full of aluminum powder, foil or chunks
is put under a seat. The acid is in a
bottle with it's mouth covered with a
couple of plastic bags held in place
by a rubber band. You can also use a
plain rubber or a ballon over the
mouth of the bottle.
The cover is pierced with a pencil
and the bottle is upended intop the
can, after which the Militant gets up
and walks out. If the acid is old and
reacts immediately, a wad of sponge is
put over the aluminum, causing the
needed delay.
A person sitting beside the Militant
would not notice anything, especially
if something exciting was happening up
front. By the time he noticed the odor
the reaction would have left him with
nothing to do but run squelling and
pissing from the scene.
The outside goody is great too, It is
used to break up parades and demon-
strations and in riots, where it's
every man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost.
It is simply a pint or quart bottle
filled with goody and wrapped with
several layers of aluminum foil and put
into a paper sack.
Now say a group of militants
infiltrate a civilian parade at
different points. At an agreed upon
time they yell, "They're throwing
things!" Then, while the other
paraders are looking around and up, the
Militants crash their outside goodys,
still in the sack to the pavement.
As the parade moves on, the Militants
filter back to where their goodies are.
When the reaction starts they scream
"Posion gas, Poison gas!" and panic the
whole mob out of the action.
The aluminum wrapped bottles have to
be slammed down hard or they might not
break. If it is something like a smoke
or pipe bomb, there is a better way
than to throw it down.
It is a good thing to cut out one of
your pants pockets for this one. The
bomb is in a sack under your jacket.
You light its fuse with a cigarette and
slip the bomb into your pocket and
let it drop down throught your pants
leg.
